Details:

The Mercury 5.56 Muzzle Brake is built for shooters who want recoil reduction that feels controlled and deliberate, not abrupt or overbearing. Rather than dumping gas all at once, Mercury uses progressive 90-degree side ports to vent gases in stages. That staged release spreads the recoil impulse out over time, helping manage muzzle rise while keeping the rifle tracking flat and predictable through the shot. The end result is quicker follow-up shots with less disruption to your sight picture.

Compact, Lightweight, and Easy to Run

Mercury Muzzle Brake keeps a low profile at the muzzle, making it a natural fit for lightweight builds, duty carbines, and competition rifles where balance matters. It delivers meaningful recoil control without adding unnecessary length or front-end weight, so the rifle retains its natural pointability and handling. It’s effective without feeling bulky or out of place on slimmer barrels.

Dynamount Compatible for Consistent Sight Alignment

Designed to work with Dynamount on-barrel front sights, the Mercury Muzzle Brake allows shooters to mount a front sight directly to the barrel instead of the handguard. This eliminates potential point-of-impact shift caused by handguard flex or pressure, helping maintain consistent alignment during recoil and rapid strings. For shooters running iron sights or hybrid setups, this adds a layer of mechanical consistency that handguard-mounted sights can’t match.

Built Tough, Installs Clean

Each Mercury brake is 100% CNC machined in the USA from 416 stainless steel and finished with a durable salt bath nitride treatment to resist heat, carbon buildup, and corrosion. A timing nut is included, allowing for clean, precise installation without shims or trial-and-error alignment. Set it, torque it, and it stays where it belongs.

Refined Recoil Control in a Practical Package

For shooters who want a compact 5.56 muzzle brake that prioritizes smooth recoil characteristics, consistent tracking, and thoughtful design, the Mercury Muzzle Brake delivers. It’s a well-balanced solution that enhances control without complicating your rifle or changing how it handles.
